If the scanner fails to eject the film, follow the instructions below. 1 Release the adapter lock mechanism If the computer displays an error message, click OK to release the adapter lock mechanism. 2 Remove the SA-21 Exercise caution to avoid damaging any film that may be protruding from the rear of the adapter. 3 Place the SA-21 on a level, stable surface To prevent damage to the adapter, work with the SA-21 on a level, stable surface. 4 Open the front panel Press the release button and open the front panel. Front panel Release button The SA-21 Lock Mechanism Attempting to remove the SA-21 without releasing the lock mechanism could interfere with the connection between the adapter and the scanner. If an attempt has been made to remove the SA-21 without releasing the lock mechanism, push the adapter back into the scanner to re-establish the connection. Attempting to remove the adapter by force could damage the adapter or scanner. Remove Dust from Film Dust is a common cause of film feed errors.
